Loved the guac — it was chunky and the raw onions didn't overpower. It would have been even better if it was colder than room temp, but hey, not gonna complain about fresh guac.
Really good chicken quesadilla with a pickled onion salad on the side. The meat was very tender and pulled apart easily, there were 3 types of cheeses and it was just the right amount to balance out the chicken. Unfortunately I found a bone in mine though, so I wasn't a fan of that… The salsa that came with the guac was a better pairing with the quesadilla than the salsa that actually came with the quesadilla.
The tacos al pastor were a little messy, but just enough with the level of spicy and chunks of pineapple–really nice combo.
Definitely coming back! Would like to try the fajitas next time, the people next to us got it and it smelled amazing…
Came in here with some friends the other evening. They had a decent happy hour, with $5 margaritas, $4 beers and sangria. We ordered table-sid guacamole to start, which was fresh and just the right amount of spicy. For entrees, I had steak enchiladas and my friends had fish tacos and chicken tacos. I wasn't a huge fan of mine, but they really enjoyed their tacos.
The wait staff is super friendly and attentive. They came by to check on us and refilled our waters frequently. The place itself is super small, so on a lively night there is a wait! We were practically on top of the table behind us, and I think i heard more of their conversation than my own.
Overall, though i didn't love my meal, I'd love to come back and try something else. This place had good prices, and it's great reviews make me want to give it another shot!
OH THIS PLACE IS DELICIOUS!
I went here with my coworker and we ordered tacos from their lunch menu. It was surprisingly cheap and delicious. They give you chips and salsa to start, and we each ordered three (3) tacos (on the smaller side), which came with a side of rice bowl and salad. We weren't able to finish everything and had to take the rest to go — the portion isn't too heavy, but enough to give you a decent sized food baby :o)
Friendly staff and the overall ambiance is chill/casual. It was a nice day out so we sat by the open windows. A good spot to people watch since there's a lot of foot traffic.
I regret not trying anything from their happy hour drink menu, but I will be back! Great restaurant and conveniently located a few blocks from my office.
The food here is amazing! I ordered steak tacos, and the steak was heavenly cooked and spiced! It's no surprised the place gets packed quickly, but they do accept reservations!
Tip: they do have a really good happy hour with delicious margaritas, from 4-8pm, but only at the bar, if you sit at the table they only give you one round of "happy hour deals" then you have to pay full price.
Casa Agave, why do you have 4 stars on yelp? It must be the brunch special? Perhaps people are writing their reviews after drinking a lot of Sangria? Anyhoo, I stopped by Casa Agave for dinner on a Saturday after a show. The service was friendly and attentive with several servers checking in on our table multiple times. I ordered a white sangria (which was just okay) from the happy hour menu for $5/glass. Next we ordered the $12 guacamole. A server came out with a cart and made the guac table side. The guac was the highlight of the meal, obviously very fresh, however it was served with a basket of incredibly stale tortilla chips. It was around that time we noticed the place was swarming with flies. Gross. For dinner we split the tacos mariscos. Not great. The tacos were bland and the seafood was a little overcooked.
Moral of the story, I will not be going back.
Super disappointed in this place. I ordered the chicken quesadilla and it was tiny! They only used one tortilla and folded it in half. The chicken was still watery from being boiled and it wasn't marinated – just plain ole boiled chicken! I was underwhelmed, not to mention, famished, even after consuming my pathetic "meal."
Casa Agave was a disappointment.
I came here in extremely hungry. Doesn't food taste better when you are hungry?
They seemed to have good lunch specials for $9.95 which attracted me to this place. Also, the tableside made guac was another factor in me coming here.
Well, let's start off with the guac. The waiter did a great job of making the guac. Sure, it was expensive, it was $12, but it was very good.
Now let's move on to the lunch specials. You can choose either tacos or enchiladas. I went with the chicken mole enchilada. The lunch specials also include either a salad or a beverage. The waiter had no idea that this was included, I asked if I could have the salad, and he asked me if I wanted a side salad that cost money. I said that it was included. He said no and brought the menu over to prove it to me. Well, I pointed out what the menu said, he read it carefully and agreed to give us the free salad.
When you think salad, you think of a nice fresh bed of lettuce leaves and some other vegetables like tomatoes. Well, I got limp ice berg lettuce that looked like leftover lettuce that did not make it to yesterday's tacos. And a radish that was so soggy that I spit it out. The dressing was horrible, it tasted like salt water. I felt like I was eating old ice berg lettuce soaked in salt water.
The chicken mole was actually good. The chicken was absolutely tender, and that mole sauce… I don't know what's in it but it was good. The side of rice and beans was bad. Usually the rice and beans come in separate bowls, the combined it in one bowl, no big deal. The rice was dry and hard as a rock… is water too expensive? Did they forget to add water to the rice? It was horrible. The beans tasted like Rosarita beans, straight out of a can. It really wasn't good.
Come on, get the basic right. Its a Mexican restaurant, at the very least, please cook your rice properly. And don't serve me leftover lettuce from yesterday.
To top it off, the female bathroom lock was broken. Somebody came in while I was in there.
had to deduct 1 star b/c of no AC – it was a humid night.
My friend and I came here after changing our mind from another spot in the area. It was a great choice. The shrimp guac & chips appetizer was so savory- we ate it all. We had the seafood tacos and the fried fish tacos, both were super yummy. I appreciate the spices and veggies in the tacos, tasted like someone cares =) My mojito was a pleasant compliment to the well prepared foods.
the guac made to order is a special treat as the server uses his mixing spoons as instruments.
this is a great date place. small, intimate, dimly lit yet a lil warm in the summer but hey the heat plus spices plus drinks may make your eve that much more fun. *wink*
